Passive all-optical signal processors that overcome the electronic bottleneck can potentially be the enabling components for the next-generation high-speed and lower power consumption systems. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a CMOS-compatible waveguide and its application to the all-optical analog-to-digital converter (ADC) under the nonlinear spectral splitting and filtering scheme. As the key component of the proposed ADC, a 50 cm long high-index doped silica glass spiral waveguide is composed of a thin silicon-nanocrystal (Si-nc) layer embedded in the core center for enhanced nonlinearity. The device simultaneously possesses low loss (0.16 dB/cm at 1550 nm), large nonlinearity ( at 1550 nm), and negligible nonlinear absorption. A 2-bit ADC basic unit is achieved when pumped by the proposed waveguide structure at the telecom band and without any additional amplification. Simulation results that are consistent with the experimental ones are also demonstrated, which further confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme for larger quantization resolution. This demonstrated approach enables a fully monolithic solution for all-optical ADC in the future, which can digitize broadband optical signals directly at low power consumption. This has great potential on the applications of high-speed optical communications, networks, and signal processing systems.

为改善传统立体匹配视差图中目标边缘的毛刺现象,以及弱纹理和视差不连续区域的"阶梯效应"等,提出了一种结合局部二进制表示和超像素分割的立体匹配方法。首先融合二进制表示的窗口内像素的空间和颜色特征进行代价计算,并以此求得初始视差;然后将简单线性迭代聚类方法分割的结果作为像素的空间和颜色标记,为超像素内的目标边缘和其他像素点选择恰当的稳定点进行视差传播,以达到视差优化时边缘保持和空间平滑的目的。在Mid
对玻色爱因斯坦凝聚中拉曼跃迁的拉比频率和耦合强度进行了实验研究,拉比频率是光与原子相互作用中的一个重要参量,用于衡量原子与光场之间耦合强度的大小,而拉曼跃迁耦合强度是自旋轨道耦合实验中的一个重要参数。研究了不同拉曼光频率失谐下,87Rb在F=1时的超精细塞曼子能态|1,0〉和|1,1〉间的拉曼跃迁拉比振荡。在800 nm的拉曼光作用下,观测到超精细态F=2的5个塞曼能态间同时耦合的拉比振荡。该工作有助于87Rb自旋轨道耦合实验中参数的优化选择。

在神光Ⅱ激光装置上,针对外径260 μm的柱形靶,采用大焦斑拼接的办法(焦斑直径约200 μm),开展了八路激光直接驱动压缩实验。利用第九路激光驱动钼X射线背光,使用KirkpatrickBaez显微镜成像以及条纹相机记录的方法,获得了柱形靶内爆流线图,据此给出的压缩后密度约为初始密度的120倍。该密度处于快点火电子产生区和能量沉积区密度之间,正是电子束需要传输的密度区域。神光Ⅱ皮秒激光运行后,可以利用这种压缩的柱形靶开展电子束在稠密等离子体中传输的实验研究。
